10/10/24, 9:24 AM DGHR and SLC sign cooperation agreement to reinforce legislative framework for Dubai government’s human resources
future vision of Dubai. The agreement is designed to promote an attractive foundation for creative
talents, one-of-a-kind intellects, and competitive experts around the world.

The agreement was signed by H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al-Falasi, Director General of DGHR’s
Department, and H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General.

Commenting on the agreement signing, H.E. Al Falasi highlighted the importance of strengthening

collaborative ties with SLC, as it could substantially enhance the quality of the legislative framework and
legal services associated with human resources in the emirate. The agreement seamlessly aligns with
the major objectives of DGHR to steer and empower the human resources sector by leveraging smart

solutions, innovative and adaptable policies, and promoting talents that can elevate the competitiveness
of Dubai.

H.E. Al Falasi said: “The legal and legislative path holds a vital role in accelerating the development of
the Dubai government’s workforce. It is a fundamental element in attaining institutional government
harmony and integration between various entities. Furthermore, it reinforces the regulatory and

organisational aspects within an entity or institution with the key goal of empowering Dubai’s legal and
legislative system. In this regard, the cooperation agreement holds great significance as it provides a
platform to exchange experiences, knowledge, and perspectives to guarantee the optimal
implementation of legislation.”

H.E. Ahmad bin Meshar, Secretary General of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of
Dubai (SLC), said: “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with the Dubai Government Human
Resources Department (DGHR) to strengthen our cooperation, particularly in regulating civil and
paramilitary personnel affairs, and in developing a shared vision for drafting local and federal legislation.
This collaboration is a significant step towards enhancing the legislative ecosystem in Dubai and the

UAE as a whole. Areas of cooperation pertain to the SLC core services, including providing legal advice
and opinion, legal translation, reviewing proposed draft legislation, conducting legislative studies and
research, and issuing legislation explanatory notes, thus facilitating the optimal interpretation and

implementation of legislation. At the SLC, we remain committed to fostering partnerships with the
concerned government entities and stakeholders as we believe that collaboration is key to forging a
resilient and inclusive legislative environment in the UAE in line with the national development goals.”

The agreement will focus on diverse areas linked to legislative matters. It will include reviewing the draft
legislation proposed by DGHR in line with the existing principles and approaches and completing the

necessary procedures for its implementation. The scope of the agreement further covers providing
advice on both federal and local draft legislation associated with human resources, to support both
civilian and military employees. In addition, both parties will offer input and recommendations while
drafting legislation, providing legal translation services for human resources legislation, and actively

contributing to research, studies, or finding guides related to the field.
